This episode was so chaotic. I know this show is all about drama but that drama should be somewhat divided, not thrown into that same episode. Plus with every character adding their own fuel to the fire all the drama ended up being kind of shallow. They didn't explore it, they just brushed over it. I think it would've been SO much better if this episode was broken into 2 separate episodes. They didn't have time to build up the problems. They started them and went straight ahead to the climax. It kind of seemed like the whole episode was a one big climax of the episode, if that makes sense. When creating an episode there should always be a change of pace throughout it, but here it was just a huge package of chaos. Everyone just kept talking, yelling and arguing and it was all happening very fast, no slowing down. Some scenes should've been longer and not interrupted by other scenes, that way the drama would play itself out. I really hope in the next episodes they will take it down a notch.

It's just not good.

Warning: Spoilers
There were very few good moments in this episode but the entire series and story just feels so forced and disjointed.
I don't find myself truly rooting for any characters or really caring about them, the acting from some of the actors is so stiff.
There's honestly just way too many main characters and they're obviously struggling to give them proper screentime.
The throuple scenes are getting SO REPETITIVE . They're having the same conversations over again over again. The 3 of them are barely even characters anymore, they're just there to have sex scenes and stress about being a throuple.
There's just no heart in this show... there's no lead up to relationships, there's barely chemistry among any of the cast.
The Julien vs Monet plot line is easily the most exciting / entertaining but the jingling between other characters like the teachers or throuple just brings the show down.
The teachers are still terrible and just takes the immersion out of Gossip Girl. I never thought Gossip Girl could be mentioned TOO MUCH in the show but it feels that way. It's just hard to really connect with GG's post when the teachers are standing around discussing it.
Plus the constant FORCED REFERENCES whenever the main teens talk to each other is so excessive. It's like them name dropping a celeb or some scandal/real life event every other word is too much.
The whole series just seemed to have been rushed and not properly planned.... and it's suffering badly from it.
